Carl Jung is not my favorite thinker in every way, but I do like his idea of a collective unconscious. To picture this, imagine a large lake, at its edges being the borders of every human conscience-- as though we share the same pre-birth memories, from a pre-dawn time of great stillness. Thoughts others have or are having might be perceived by us, and by any surrounding the lake.

The attempt to preserve human innocence has in history been a key motive for social evolution. Society has not fully "cured" human nature- it still experiences discontents. and it still requires gestures and supplications for fulfillment.

David Lynch, the director, based much of his work on contrasts between innocence and knowledge-- light and dark are polarized, and in series such as "Twin Peaks", child abuse swirls around in a small Pacific Northwestern town, together with arson, greed, lust and murder.

These three tracks are loose references to the world of "Twin Peaks", and to the occasionally disturbed lake adjacent to it. The music was recorded in one take with no overdubs in Loud on 7th Studios.
